Hard to believe it’s been a quarter of a century since Toronto’s Blue Rodeo formed after principal songwriters Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor placed their infamous classified ad in NOW Magazine saying, “If you have dropped acid at least 20 times, lost two good years to drugs and another three to five to booze, play a bass or drums and can still manage to keep time like a metronome, call Jim or Greg.” The venerable roots rockers come out west as part of their 25th anniversary tour to play the Orpheum Jan. 5. Tickets at all Ticketmaster outlets.
It’s been a slow and hazy week as Vancouver wakes up from its holiday stupor and prepares for 2013, so why not ease your way into and take in a movie. We particularly like the looks of A Late Quartet. A sleeper hit at this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival, the film stars Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Ivanir and Catherine Keener as members of a world-renowned string quartet who have performed together for 25 years but struggle to adjust when their seasoned cellist, played by Walken, learns he has Parkinson’s disease and plans to retire. Yaron Zilberman’s moving drama screens at Fifth Avenue Cinemas. For show times and info, go to festivalcinemas.ca.
